Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 432 A salute to Chen Shu! A salute to us! A salute to the police!
downstairs.

The crowd fell silent.

"Brother Shu, Brother Shu!" Zhang Yang stood in the crowd below the building, looking up at Chen Shu who had jumped down from the building. His voice trembled uncontrollably as tears fell in a steady stream.

She suddenly felt a pang of regret for her earlier complaints against Chen Shu for refusing to let his subordinates go upstairs to rescue the people.

The masses are life, but Chen Shu is also life.

At this moment, Zhang Yang wished she were a selfish woman who could have stopped Chen Shu before he rushed into the building to save people. Whether she was coquettish or fierce, all she wanted now was to protect the man she desired.

Those standing beside Zhang Yang fell silent as they saw the woman weeping and murmuring in despair.

"Are the police officers upstairs yours, man?" an old man asked.

Zhang Yang nodded with tears streaming down his face. Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he frantically pushed through the crowd in front of him and stumbled toward the spot where Chen Shu had fallen, his voice hoarse with sobs.

She ran downstairs to where Chen Shu had fallen, pulled aside a SWAT officer, and squeezed in without a second thought. There she saw the man she had been so worried about lying in a blanket that everyone was holding back, patting the little boy in his arms with a smile.

His face was completely black and gray, but his teeth were quite white.

He turned his head and looked at Zhang Yang, who was in tears. His arched eyebrows were extremely handsome.

A metallic taste rose in Chen Shu's throat, and a visible fracture was visible in his arm.

He forced a smile despite the pain and said, "Zhang Yang, I'm alright, I survived again."

The single word "again" encapsulates so much bitterness and sorrow.

clap clap clap!
Zhang Yang pounced on Chen Shu, swinging his soft, boneless fists and repeatedly pounding Chen Shu's chest.

"You scared me to death! You scared me to death!" Zhang Yang said, bursting into tears and unable to continue speaking due to sobs.

"Don't scare the child. It's okay, everything's alright now."

Chen Shu held the frightened, sobbing little boy in his left arm, gently patting his back; his right hand slowly stroked Zhang Yang's slender back, which was trembling and heaving with emotion.

This scene is heartwarming.

An elderly man, stroking his long beard, looked at everything with satisfaction and said with a smile, "What a gentle policeman."

Another young man, holding a huge camera, squeezed next to the elderly man, unscrewed the long lens and aimed it at the three of them, snapping photos incessantly while humming a song and joking, "Like autumn leaves falling, drifting away, softening the whole world."

"Clap clap clap!"

Just as Chen Shu and Zhang Yang were comforting each other, the surrounding crowd spontaneously applauded.

"Well done! That was awesome! Great job!" a young man shouted in unison.
"Good job! Brother!"

"Well done!"

The crowd joined in the chant, and some even raised their phones to squeeze into the small circle surrounded by SWAT officers, practically shoving their cameras directly into Chen Shu's face.

Chen Shu was somewhat amused and exasperated. He gestured for Chen Chuan to come in and hand the little boy to the paramedics waiting outside. He then prepared to get up, salute everyone, and walk off the scene. However, just as he was about to put his right hand under his body to try and support himself, a sudden, intense pain in his back and a feeling of weakness in his right hand made him groan in pain and gasp for breath.

Upon seeing this, Chen Chuan turned around without looking back and casually shoved the little boy in his arms into the arms of the person behind him. He then pulled Pu Shu and ran to the ambulance, grabbed a stretcher, and ran back to Chen Shu's side. Without saying a word, he lifted the boy onto the stretcher and held him down.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! All of you, get the hell out of the way!"

Wearing a police uniform, Chen Chuan glared and angrily cursed at the crowd that had gathered around him, completely disregarding the fact that some of them were filming him with their phones.

He gripped the stretcher's handles tightly with both hands, directing Pu Shu to quickly get Chen Shu into the ambulance. Then, without hesitation, he jumped into the vehicle, strode to the back of the driver's seat, patted the backrest, and urged, "Driver, let's go! Hurry up!"

The car lurched slightly before the driver started it up, and it sped out of the alley.

Everything happened so suddenly that Chen Shu was a little dizzy. Actually, he was more afraid than anything else. He was afraid that jumping from the fourth floor would cause problems with his spine, and he would be bedridden for the rest of his life, which would really be a joke.

Given this situation, it's no wonder Chen Chuan was impulsive and angry earlier.

"Waaaaah... Captain Chen, I was wrong. It was my fault. I shouldn't have forced you upstairs!" Pu Shu, who was sitting next to Chen Shu, suddenly burst into tears.

Chen Shu first glared at Chen Chuan, who was about to start cursing, then reluctantly raised his left hand and gently patted Pu Shu's knee, advising, "I believe you must be upset about what happened. Your initial intentions were definitely good, and the result was actually quite good."

"Not bad? Two died. Heh, actually, whether we saved them or not, two would have died anyway," Chen Chuan said sarcastically, standing to the side with his arms crossed.

"Ahem." Chen Shu glared at Chen Chuan, then continued to speak gently to Pu Shu, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Didn't we save a child from the clutches of the King of Hell?"

After a pause, Chen Shu suddenly remembered the vow he had made to himself not long ago: never again to risk jumping off a building.

She sighed softly in her heart, but said calmly, "Pu Shu, you're still young, and you have a long life ahead of you. Remember this: we police officers are human, not gods. There are some things we can't control, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. Remember, you also have parents, and you'll have a wife and children in the future. Your life is unique in their hearts."

"Police officers, this is just a job. We should just do our job well and be worthy of our salaries."

After speaking, Chen Shu glanced at Pu Shu, whose emotions had calmed down considerably, and closed his eyes wearily.

Despite Chen Shu's calm demeanor as he tried to reassure the younger team members, he was actually terrified inside, fearing he might be taken to the hospital.

I'm afraid of hospital checkups.

I'm afraid this report could cost me half my life, or even my entire life.

"You're all talk. Your aunt and uncle will be scared crazy by you sooner or later." Chen Chuan sighed and slumped down on the side, feeling utterly helpless.

Late at night, a food stall in the alley behind the hospital.

The Zhengming Special Police Brigade, all dressed in civilian clothes, sat quietly in the innermost private room, surrounded by a table full of steaming food, but none of them touched their chopsticks.

Yan Song raised his arm, which was wrapped in white bandages, and touched Ma Bowen, who was sitting next to him: "Bowen, how's your hand? What did the CT scan say?"

Ma Bowen curled his lip, unconcerned, and said with a hint of smugness, "It's broken. What about you?"

"I just have a minor sprain. Hehe." Perhaps feeling that his injury was too minor, Yan Song felt a little ashamed and spoke in a very soft voice.

Sitting opposite the two, Xu Mingliang raised his left hand, which was in a white sling, and said self-deprecatingly, "You guys did alright, at least you caught Chen Shu. I didn't even manage to save half a person, and I ended up getting injured first. How embarrassing!"

Earlier, Xu Mingliang was in a hurry to drive the troop transport vehicle into the building under the fire, but an electric tricycle blocked the road. He couldn't get through even with the accelerator pedal fully pressed, so he had to get out of the car and call for help to carry the tricycle away.

In his haste, he accidentally twisted his wrist while lifting the car.

There was a lot of sighing in the private room.

Xie Chi, the deputy instructor of the brigade who arrived at the hospital later, said, "Brothers, we just witnessed Chen Shu and Chen Chuan risking their lives to save people in the fire. Of course, Xu Mingliang, Zhang Qing, Pu Shu, Yan Song and others also did their best in their respective positions. Fortunately, everyone is alright."

"What good luck!"

"So," Xie Chi said, his voice rising with emotion, as he involuntarily picked up his glass and stood up, "let's first toast to Chen Shu, who's still lying in the hospital, and then to ourselves, who's been there before, and who knows when we'll have to be there again!"

Then everyone stood up, their faces flushed under the dim yellow light of the incandescent bulbs in the private room.

However, his eyes were resolute.

"Respectfully submitted!"

"Salute to us!"

"Here's to the police!"
